Putting The Goalkeeper In The Wall Is 2020’s Greatest Tactical Innovation

It’s been 157 years since the Rules of Association Football were codified at a tavern in London, but the game still remains full of innovation and progressive thinking. Some paradigm shifts are gradual, like the tactical change from an all out 1-1-8 formation to a stubborn 4-5-1, while others metaphorically approach, punch you in the teeth and depart as quickly as they’d arrived. 

These are the best sorts of revolutions: the ones that nobody asked for. 

Check Out The Most Brash, Beautiful, Bland And Brazen Third Kits For Next Season

One thing I always look forward to with a new season is the revamped kits, especially the third kits. The home and away jerseys are always the same colors as last season’s with a new design. This is not the case for the almighty third kit. 

Watch Ronaldo React To Portugal’s Goal-Fest Like A Man Who Really Doesn’t Like To Be On The Sideline

There are some famed transfer policies in the world of football: Real Madrid’s Galácticos, Athletic Bilbao’s cantera, Guadalajara’s Mexican-born only and Newcastle’s annual $0 push for survival. But my favorite, without a doubt, is Everton’s. 

Without doing any research whatsoever, I’d venture to say that Everton has no scouting department. It’s entirely unnecessary with this approach. Instead, the club’s policy is a mixture of the nostalgia evoked from the remembrance of things past and the demand that you’ve played for a club on the Forbes rich list.

Toronto FC Tries To Be Messi And Suarez, Fails Miserably And Loses The Game

Toronto FC blew a huge opportunity when it tried to be like Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez in Tuesday night’s game against its country rival Montreal. 

On the stroke of halftime with Toronto trailing by one, Jozy Altidore was taken down in the penalty area and the referee pointed to the spot. With this golden chance to equalize, Toronto decided instead to squander the tying goal with this abomination of a play.

‘Drop-In’ Soccer Might Be On The Way Out, According To Millennials

Nowadays there are so many differences between younger generations and older generations — things like who should have human rights, whether or not you should care about others and wear a mask in a global pandemic, whether or not the pandemic is a hoax — you know, small stuff like that are always up for debate.

Flop Of The Year Award Goes To Striker Pretending To Be Unconscious After Slight Nudge

Flopping is one of soccer’s most annoying aspects. Nothing is more of a turn-off than watching a grown adult rolling around screaming bloody murder after a little nick on the shin. The year of 2020 has been awful and with it comes what could be the worst flop ever.

In a Romanian Liga 1 match between Steaua Bucuresti and Viitorul, striker Kevin Luckassen proved to the world why he would fail acting class with the worst flop of the year.

The Australia women's national team Twitter account asked its fans to get creative and photoshop pictures of some of their favorite Matildas doing legendary goal celebrations. From Sam Kerr scaling a wall alongside Spiderman to Alanna Kennedy breakdancing, the Aussie fans are definitely creative — or they just have too much time on their hands.
